Inventor: COMINGS WILLIAM RIGHTER
Filed: 1908-02-14
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 3337. Comings, W. R. Feb. 14. Content, sdelivering and withdrawing.-Boxes for distributing powdered or pulverized materials are provided with one or more false lids or diaphragms under the perforated lid and adjustable in distance therefrom. The perforated lid B, Fig. 1, has a spike D, which protrudes through a hole in the diaphragm G and serves to break up or divert lumps. The receptacle may be used as a pourer when the lid B is removed. A flat spring or hinged division-plate or baffler may be used between the diaphragm and the top, as shown in Fig. 6, so that the material passes through a series of holes decreasing in size. With a rectangular receptacle, there may be two or more spikes, and the flow is regulated by pushing the lid up or down a scale marked on the box. The diaphragm may be dished to allow material left in the distributing space to pass readily back into the box.

Title: Improvements in Wireless Signalling
Inventor: FESSENDEN REGINALD AUBREY
Filed: 1908-04-04
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 7494. Fessenden, R. A. April 5, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c, Act, 1907]. Wireless telegraphy and telephony.-In a system of duplex and multiplex wireless telegraphy and telephony, an artificial antenna or circuit containing inductance, capacity, and resistance, which is acted on inductively to the same extent as the active antenna circuit by the currents flowing in the primary oscillation circuit, and which absorbs energy at the same rate as the antenna circuit, is set as a shunt to the detector. This artificial antenna neutralizes the effect of the transmitting- oscillations in the active antenna on the receiving- circuit, while allowing oscillations which are received by the main antenna, to affect the receiver. A number of messages may be simultaneously received and transmitted by employing a number of transmitting and receiving sets tuned to different frequencies, all the sets at one station being con" nected to the same aerial, or to different aerials suspended from the same tower. The switch 45 being closed, telephonic or telegraphic currents flowing in the line 1, 2 induce corresponding curcents in the circuit of the coil 3 of the telephonic relay 5 in the main oscillation circuit. The main oscillation circuit including the spark-gap 19 and the relay 5 is inductively connected with the circuit of the antenna 40 so that, when the strength of the oscillations is varied by the actuation of the telephonic relay 5, the strength of the antenna radiations is correspondingly varied. The-artificial antenna comprises the variable inductance and capacity 37, 28, the resistance 38, and the secondaries 32, 35 of-transformers whose primaries 21, 30 are in the main oscillation circuit. Two other trans, former primary coils 22, 31, also in the main oscillation circuit, act inductively on secondaries 33, 34 in the antenna circuit, and the combined effect on the detector 46 of the induction of the coils in the primary oscillation circuit on the four secondary coils 32,35, 33, 34, is that the potential at both terminals of the detector circuit is the same, and the detector is unaffected by the transmitting- oscillations. If, however, radiations are received by the antenna, the detector is affected, and the received signals are re-transmitted by means of the telephonic relay 6 to the line-wires 1, 2. The primaries 7, 8, 9, 10 in the circuit of the telephonic relay 6 are so arranged with regard to their secondaries 11, 12, 13, 14 in the line circuit 1, 2 that the potentials at the terminals of the coil 3 of the relay 5 are the same, so that this relay is unaffected by currents in the circuit of the relay 6. Currents from the line 1, 2, however, cause the relay 5 to be actuated. If the switch 45 which shunts the key 44 be opened, ordinary telephonic transmission may be effected by means of this key.
